Autostart node-red script - how to stop?

[Phil Grant]

Hi,

I've got Node-red up and running, I've now got it auto starting on boot but for the life of me I can't figure out how to stop it??

I've used the startup script by dceejay (linux) from the Node-red page and it works but how do I stop node-red, I've tried nodered -stop and loads of other variations.

I'm sure it should be easy but I'm not familiar with Linux.

how do I stop, start and restart node-red?

Cheers

Phil

Assuming you mean this one: https://gist.github.com/bigmonkeyboy/9962293 and that you've saved it as /etc/init.d/nodered, then you should run:

    sudo /etc/init.d/nodered stop

Hi Phil,

I am using the same script.
Try:  sudo service nodered stop

Should work.

Thanks,

This is probably a linux'ism but I tried 'sudo nodered stop' when I was in the etc/init.d folder and it didn't work but when I typed the command with the full path it did the job ??

Thanks for the help

Thanks Hermann, yours worked as well.

Either you need to refer to the launch script directly (which you mentioned), or you use the service command to tell it to do something to a configured service.  This is the same sort of thing as in Windows with the "NET START service" or "SC START service" commands.
